Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

For what it's worth, the registry entry has been updated to show me as the new owner of the model of the 460 in question, and I have attached a couple of photos. One of them shows the back of the guitar, and the 'dots' are exactly as those shown on the other example. As to the router jig being respo...

I only just took possession of this guitar yesterday, and we have hardly gotten to know each other. One thing that I have noted is that the tuners seem a bit stiff. I'm going to clean up a bit of the grime, replace the two modern knobs with some vintage ones, string it up and then give it a whirl. D...

[quote="jsm610"]I'll suggest two theories: 1) They're covering screws, such as the screws seen on the mid-late '50's Combo 400 &/or Combo 450's (Tulips) - which aren't covered. (Said screws are in the same position as the plugs in the above photo.) 2) The necks were tapped for those sc...

In reviewing photos from other guitars in the 400 series from this era, I have spotted at least two more which seem to have this 'feature.' Perhaps an old hand from Rickenbacker, or even Mr. Hall, will have some insight as to how and why these 'dots' were applied.

OK......whew. Yep.......this is exactly what I am talking about. The 'dots' on the MG guitar pictured appear light colored, while the ones on my FG are dark. But the real question is....what the heck are these and why were they placed there?

I recently acquired a 1961 model 460 FG in very nice shape, and for what I feel was an attractive price. When the guitar arrived, I examined it closely to see that the overall condition agreed with that stated by the seller. I was pleased to see that all parts appear to be original with the exceptio...

Well.......that's about $1200.00 for this project, but you did not include the cost of the 'toasters.' Should you have to return them to the person you borrowed them from, expect to pay $300.00 or more for a replacement pair. This will bring your cost up to around that of a new 620......in fact, dep...

Your best bet would be to watch the 'recently shipped' feature on the RIC website, and then contact some of the dealers who are receiving them. There is a chance you will find one which is not already reserved for another customer. I did this and I have one from the last batch produced........someti...

"Probably just a bug in their code..."

My first thought as well. Since I am active searching/waiting for a 381 I'm glad I stumbled upon this.

I raised this question over on the corporate forum but never got much of a bite. Why is it that when viewing 'recently shipped' information for the model 381v69 there is no activity (except one shipment for a 12-string), yet shipments of this model DO appear if you browse shipments of other instrume...

I didn't see anything on the 'for sale' link, but if you want to send a PM with your asking price, I might be interested.

It certainly is nice to read a story like this that has a happy ending. Hopefully the state police will start questioning the folks who had the TP and will be able to establish a chain of possession which leads back to the thief. Props to you for keepting the COA and a record of the serial number se...

I have heard many people swear by the Janglebox, and I have been giving it some consideration. But as to it's availability, and the order backlog mentioned, just what is the normal wait time if I were to order one directly from the company? Hopefully their situation is not comparable to that or RIC.

Well, apparently I missed the posts which seem to have drawn so much attention. Just as well, and I am not going to waste my time looking for them. As a previous writer suggested, I don't think there would be any problem in expression an opinion on this site, or on the corporate site, so long as you...

I believe you can determine if the v64 has the high output or lower output toaster by the type of screws using in the pickup mount. One type has phillips while the other has a regular slotted screw. Check the screws on both of your guitars and if they are the same then I believe you have the 7.4 toa...
